What’s yours is mine is a work that combines video and sculpture with contemporary motion sensing technology and the old school illusionary technique ‘Pepper’s Ghost’. The work involves the artists re-enacting Bruce Nauman’s 1987 video performance No, No, New Museum, within a constructed felt landscape. This performance is triggered by the viewers as they approach the work. With four viewpoints accessible to the audience, each time a new viewer approaches the focus of the performance shifts.
